WORLD DISTRIBUTION AWARD is a unique monthly film programme where filmmakers can submit their films. Each month winners in selected categories (• - Best Live Action Short Film and • - Best Short Documentary) will get an amazing opportunity to sign special deal  with distribution company Artemis (www.Artemis-Distribution.eu) .
This company will translate their films into different languages and distribute them into 34 TV channels across 6 different countries (Germany, Italy, Slovakia, Czech Republic,  Serbia and South Africa).
We are living in the world where finding a distributor is way more dificulut than it used to be. Short films usually don't make any money therefore it is impossible to find distributor because non of the channels will broadcast it. We would like to change that and also help filmmakers get into the spotlight. Our main mission is to support young talented filmmakers and create opportunities  for their development and visibility. With our exlusive partnership with distribtuion company Artemis we are able to offer something that none of the festivals can –  WORLD DISTRIBUTION.
